Rosettes and Krumkake...oh my!

After Henry's appointment yesterday, we went to Laura's house for some holiday baking. We took on the challenge of the Thorkelson traditions: krumkake and rosettes. Yum!

We fried up some rosettes in lard (mmm....lard). Pictured below with us are John, the chief quality inspector, and Laura, the hostess with the mostess.


Mia helped out with the Rosettes when she got home from school. And let me tell you, her rosettes were the best looking out of all of them. She's a natural:


Henry supervised from the chair:



Eric was the master krumkake pastry chef (notice his fine technique in how he prepares to scoop the batter...no one can compete with that...well, okay...maybe Laura could do better ;):



Some of the most fun yesterday came from the one and only Hoken. He was rather mesmerized by Henry. His first question when we walked in the door was whether or not Henry had learned any new words. Not yet...he's still working on holding up his own head! Here's an adorable photo of Hoken, Trygg and Henry:
